Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
Northern Star Resources, one of Australia's largest gold producers, is Novo's biggest shareholder at about 9.87% and put fresh cash in through the roughly A$8.2M placement completed in May 2026. The same month, though, Northern Star walked away from the Egina earn-in after spending its initial A$7M rather than commit the further A$18M — so Novo has its Pilbara ground back, and the producer's money stayed while its drilling commitment did not. Behind Northern Star the register is thin but real: Mark Creasy's group at 3.75%, Palisades at 2.30%, and Sumitomo still on the list at 0.76%.
